Manuel Bartolacci and Britt Kamper have been running Alice in the 3rd district since early 2025 — an Italian-Scandinavian neighbourhood restaurant that established itself quickly and has stayed busy. But Bartolacci wanted something with a proper kitchen and more freedom, so they kept looking for a second space. In December 2025, an old Beisl and darts bar called All-In came available, no more than 200 metres from Alice. They took it.
The Space
The bar is staying as it was: 1960s furniture, the original counter, the bones of a real neighbourhood Beisl. There's no renovation theatre here, no exposed brick or Edison bulbs. Bartolacci and Kamper are repairing what needs fixing and repainting the walls, but the character of the place — the fact that it was a Beisl and still reads as one — is the whole point. The Schanigarten (outdoor seating) will stay too.
What You Drink
Bartolacci is a beer sommelier. The focus is on craft brews from Austria, Italy, and Denmark — not the obvious ones, but things worth tasting. Kamper is bringing Aquavit, the Scandinavian spirit, because it's what she knows and what she wants to drink. The rest of the drinks list is still being built, but it will be short and intentional. Snacks and small plates fill the gaps between beer and conversation.
The Kitchen Play
Once the kitchen is finished, Bartolacci and Kamper are opening it to guest chefs — friends from their Italian and Danish networks, people they've worked with or know well. The bar becomes a pop-up restaurant on those nights: sometimes a full menu with limited seats, sometimes street food over the counter, sometimes a dinner series. The format changes. The point is that the kitchen becomes a playground, not a fixed operation.
This is why the space matters. It's not a bar that occasionally does food. It's a bar with the infrastructure to host real cooking, run by people who know how to make that work without losing the bar's character.
Hours and Finding It
Open Tuesday to Saturday evenings. The exact hours are still being finalized — check @patata.wien on Instagram for current times and announcements about guest chefs. The address is Löwengasse 14 in the 3rd district, near the Weißgerberviertel.
In the margin
It's a real neighbourhood bar, not a concept bar pretending to be one.

Kapitel Zwei Wine — 10-winery Vienna pop-up, end of July

He's previously organized two consecutive pop-up wine bars in Paris with 27 Austrian wineries; the Vienna edition brings the format home.

Read the note →Altroché — Italian micro-bakery pop-up, Neustiftgasse, the 7th
- When
- 17 June 2026 – 31 July 2026
- Where
- 7th · Neubau
Francesco Fusaro, an Italian baker committed to sourdough and handcraft, has opened Altroché as a pop-up on Neustiftgasse 81 in the 7th. The range is proper Italian bakery: vegan cornetti, Bari-style focaccia, pizza slices, sourdough bread — all made on fermentation principles by one person. The 7th has no shortage of cafés, but a serious micro-bakery run on sourdough discipline is different. Fusaro plans a permanent Vienna location after the pop-up closes at the end of July. Open now through July 31.

- When
- 26 June 2026 – 31 August 2026
- Where
- 1st · Innere Stadt
Sekki is a three-month summer pop-up from Lucas 'Lucky' Shong and Jake Bergholtz, two of Vienna's most respected young chefs. They've taken over the evening service (Friday to Sunday, 6pm–midnight) at The Leo Grand's restaurant on Bauernmarkt 1 in the 1st district, running through the end of August. The menu is deliberately unpretentious — Kittseer sourdough, duck-butter, liver crème brûlée, Bergholtz's grandmother's apricot dumplings, Korean fried chicken — built from the network and experience both have accumulated across Vienna's best restaurants. The space itself is baroque and slightly kitschy; they're leaning into that rather than against it. It's the kind of kitchen that works best as a temporary thing, which is precisely why it's worth finding now.
